As the momentum of the Restoration began, many were “called to the work” (D&C 4:3). Among those were Joseph Smith, Sr., the prophet’s father, who had also searched for religious truth for most of his life. Eventually, much of the Smith family would be instrumental as God’s servants helping spread the gospel to the world.
It can be challenging to think of the ways we can preach the gospel alone, but when we consider how we might bring hope and joy through Jesus Christ to others as a family, it doesn’t seem so hard. From family scripture study to sharing missionary memories, preparing your family to share the gospel will help everyone know that through living the gospel, God will be with us in “every time of trouble” (D&C 3:8).

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season
Go & Do Activity
D&C 4 is about missionary work. Think of the missionaries serving your ward and those who are out serving in other parts of the world. They dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ and leave many things behind. Spend time as a family writing encouraging words or drawing pictures to mail to missionaries you know. Remember to pray for them daily as well!
Hands-On Activity
Discuss as a family how important it was there were witnesses to The Book of Mormon. Read D&C 5:11 and focus on the three who bore testimony. Remind your children how it is not always easy to stand for the truth, but it’s important. Act out ways to bear witness and testify using the Witness Testimony Scenario cards.
Coloring Page
Jesus Christ is our Savior and protector. He will keep us safe from danger and harm, and especially from temptations of the world. Ponder D&C 3:8 as a family and discuss the “fiery darts” in your lives. Make a goal to make Jesus Christ a central role in your life to help keep you safe from temptations as you color the fiery darts coloring page.

Go & Do Activity
Before the lesson, make some curvy lines and a straight line with some masking tape on the floor. Read D&C 3:2 together. Explain that Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to live with Him again. Teach that the way back to Heavenly Father is straight. To live with Him again we need to keep the commandments and try to be like Jesus. Reread the verse and invite your child to wiggle when you read the word “crooked” and stand up straight when you read the word “straight.” Go over to the lines on the floor. Have your child try to balance on the lines and walk from one end to the other. Ask them which one was easier to follow, the curvy line or the straight line. Guide them in the right direction by pointing out that it was easier for you to follow the straight line. You can do this as many times as your child wants and can incorporate different movements like hopping on the line, crawling, etc. Teach your child that it’s easier to follow a straight path back to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
